Bio
U.S.E. Trio, saxophonist Andrew Urbina, drummer Matt Scarano, and bassist Sandy Eldred, formed in late 2017. Their affinity for improvising over unique, and often improvised, musical forms is what inspired the project. Each member contributes compositions to the bands ever-growing repertory.
The trio has released five albums, "Sideways Circle", "Sideways Circle LIVE", "Impact", "Twilight", and "Happy Metal". The band hosts two monthly music residencies in Philadelphia, the "Creative Concepts in Jazz Series" and "Jazz Night at the Ukrainian League", whereupon they continue to workshop new compositions, arrangements, and improvisations. U.S.E. Trio is represented by record label, Each and Only.
